BACKUPS FOR SEWER SYSTEMS

Sewer backups are often caused by excess water, which ultimately causes sewage backup to run back into the municipal sewer pipes. As it reaches your drain pipe, this backlog might emit a foul odor. This stink is both disgusting and harmful to you and your household. When wastewater is flushed or drained into the sewage system on a regular basis, it goes nowhere except back where it came from.

COMMON REASONS

The most common reasons of these sewer backups vary; some might be caused by a single drain, while others can affect the whole system in your home.

The following are some of the most common causes:

• Floods
• Significant rains
• The roots of trees
• Corrosion of drain lines
• Improper grease or paper product disposal

Large floods or rains may produce substantial sewage backup in your home; this clog is directly related to a main sewer line obstruction. If the blockage is limited to a single sink, tub, or toilet, the sewage backup is most likely limited to that spot.

PREVENTING THE PROBLEM

RST Plumbing will determine the root cause of your problem and take the necessary procedures to resolve the sewage blockage. Here are some preventative measures you may take to guarantee that this problem does not reoccur in the future:

• Properly disposing of inappropriate things such as paper goods
• Keep your sewer lateral in good condition.
• Changing to plastic piping
• Installing a backwater preventer valve
• Keeping fat and oil out of the sink

Being aware of these items may help prevent future sewage backups and keep your household's sewer lines running properly. Even when events beyond your control occur, such as floods or excessive rains, following tips may assist maintain good sewage flow so you are prepared when things beyond your control occur.

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF SEWER LINES

A broken or fractured sewage pipe is a homeowner's greatest fear. Damaged lines may create further problems throughout your home, and can potentially get so terrible that it causes health problems for you and other houseguests. RST Plumbing looks to address the issue at hand and determine the best strategy to repair and properly replace your sewage line. We begin by determining the sort of damage and then proceed from there.

COMMON REASONS

The reasons include a variety of pipe concerns, some of which are directly related to the pipeline itself, while others involve outside issues that may be remedied.

Sewer damage is often caused by the following factors:

• As the ground shifts, pipes become brittle and fractured in various areas.
• Cast iron pipes corrode and shatter over time, and this corrosion may lead to leaks.
• Cracking of ABS or PVC pipes due to water temperature exposure outside the specified limits
• The roots of trees
• Gunk accumulation (hair, oil, food, etc.)
• Freezing ground may cause broken or burst pipes.
• Water or exterior ground pressure damage

SOLUTIONS FOR SEWER LINE REPAIR

RST Plumbing employed specialist equipment and video camera technologies to properly find and analyze the problem with your sewage lines. Here are some of the most common methods we employ to repair your sewage line:

Burst Pipes

We use pipe bursting to drag a brand-new sewage pipe through an old one. This procedure uses hydraulics to successfully break apart the old pipe and insert the new one at the precise moment.

Relining of Pipes

Relining is a useful repair procedure for less serious concerns that will keep your pipes intact. Our technician’s lune the inside of your existing pipe with a flexible sleeve material that hardens in a couple of hours. We begin by cleaning your pipe, then attach the sleeve to preserve the strength of a new pipe without having to remove the old one.

Cleaning of Pipes

In certain circumstances, power rodding or our hydro-jet technology may be sufficient to clear the pipe. This would clear out any obstructions and allow the pipe to resume normal operation.

Maintenance Inspection

We perform inspections and drain cleaning on a regular basis to prevent any damage. This will aid in the maintenance of your pipes and prevent them from getting cracked or severely damaged.

REPLACEMENT OF SEWER LINES

When the damage to the sewage pipe is too extensive to repair, sewer line replacement becomes necessary. Fortunately, our team provides trenchless repairs that are less expensive and more effective than some older procedures. We inject an industrial epoxy resin into your existing pipes to seal any breaks and leaks.

If your plumbing is still severely damaged, we will use hydraulic pressure and leak testing to determine the best way to remove your pipes. At RST Plumbing in Mississauga, we take pleasure in concentrating on the issue and minimizing any damage to your property, as well as completing the work in a fast and safe way.
